History
The church was founded in late 11th or early 12th-centuries, and began attached a Benedictine convent. The name was derived from the olive groves once on Cidneo hill. The convent was destroyed during a siege in 1433. In 1487, it was transferred to the Canons of San Giorgio in Alega of Venice, and reconstruction in the 16th century under the design of Antonio Medaglia. The order was suppressed in 1668, and it became property of a Carmelitan order. These were expelled in 1799, and in 1805, it was made part of a seminary.
The altarpiece in the second altar on the left depicting St John of the Cross in contemplation is attributed to Giuseppe Tortelli.
